Admission to a One-Year Master's Programme: eligibility criteria
Admission to a One-Year Master's programme is based on the evaluation of the candidate's academic background, combined with his/her professional experience. Eligibility is therefore based on these two criteria.
Academic criteria
Admission to a One-Year Master's programme is open to applicants having completed their university education in France or abroad and holding any of the following diplomas:
- an undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Sciences/licenciatura/licence) at the time of entry to Sciences Po;
- a minimum of 180 ECTS credits;
- a Master's degree (magister or magistracy, for example) from universities which do not award undergraduate qualifications.
More information on the prerequisites by programme.
Professional experience
To be eligible, candidates must be able to demonstrate, in addition to academic criteria, at least five years of post-graduate professional experience (internships during your studies not included).
To be eligible, you must meet the academic criteria, hold a law degree (Master 2, JD, LL.B. or equivalent) and demonstrate a minimum of 18 months of cumulative professional experience.
To be eligible, applicants must be in one of the following situations:
- Hold an undergraduate diploma (see "Academic criteria" section) and demonstrate at least three years of professional experience (internships during your studies not included).
